The adversary’s influence of will ....
Destructions ....

It should suffice you to know that everything in My Creation proceeds according to My will .... Thus My adversary will not be able to affect Creation in some form or other, because he is only able to affect the spiritual being in possession of free will .... the human being .... but then he once again aims to influence the latter so that the human being himself will try to change works of creation in My adversary’s favour. Thus, whatever the human being is able to accomplish may always be according to My will, but it may also correspond to My adversary’s will, because the human being is influenced from both sides .... However, anything that lies outside the human being’s sphere of authority can never be implemented by My adversary, it has to be entirely ascribed to My activity, because My adversary has lost all power over Creation, over the spiritual substance which is still bound. But precisely because of this, My adversary will exert all his influence to make people compliant into becoming destructively active, because this will release the bound spirits, which he believes he may take possession of again. This, too, will be impossible for him .... nevertheless, the released spiritual substance has an unfavourable effect on everything surrounding it because it has ‘left the order’ and therefore also creates disorder in its environment .... thus it can disrupt an existing natural law. So, indirectly it is indeed My adversary’s work, yet always through the human will .... whilst My will alone is sufficient to re-establish the order and to work creatively and constructively in the whole of the universe. This, My adversary’s impotence, will cause him to devise plans of a truly satanic nature .... by motivating people to destroy the globe .... yet with a view of different goals which impels them into intense activity.

Incapable of accomplishing destruction himself he will cleverly disguise it as a worthwhile utilisation of unfamiliar energies .... And he will find enough people on this earth to comply with his will and who therefore also receive strength from him for all kinds of discoveries and results. Although the subsequent natural disasters will only affect the creations which arose through My will, they nevertheless cannot be classed as a direct expression of Satan, but they will always be disruptions of order which were caused by human will even though they will be of immense significance in the spirits’ phase of development .... both of those who have free will and those who are still in a bound state, for their course of development will be interrupted and thus will require My counteraction so that the disrupted order will be restored again .... so that the interrupted development can continue to proceed. My adversary’s plan will certainly fail, for he will not regain the released spirits, yet he will have won the people who will have become enslaved by him .... the souls which were already further advanced .... but he will lose every entitlement over them through the forthcoming renewed banishment. My adversary’s influence on the human being’s free will is immense, yet he has no control over any created being apart from the human being .... He cannot implement anything once a person’s will refuses to surrender to him .... And everything which is inaccessible to a human being, which human will cannot influence, is always My reign and activity in the universe and never My adversary’s expression of power, who is stripped of all authority, but he will do whatever it takes to make the human will compliant in order to implement his plan through him .... and cause your downfall ....

Amen

Success at the end of an earth-period ....
Scientists ....

The end of a developmental period will always have come when people have left the divine order, in as much as they feel themselves entitled to intervene in God’s plan of Creation because they don’t believe in God as a creative power and deem themselves capable of controlling everything in existence themselves .... people certainly received the creative spirit as a birthright from God and can considerably increase this inheritance, with divine assistance they can also achieve the seemingly impossible and still remain within the divine order .... as long as they receive the strength for their creativity from God .... But they will instantly step out of this order if all their plans are purely worldly orientated ....if they set themselves apart from God as the creative power and thus conduct their experiments purely rationally .... if they use the divine creation itself as test objects and thereby turn themselves into henchmen of God’s adversary whose objective it is to destroy divine creations. At the end of an earth period the world is always full of earthly wisdom ....

Science believes to have found the key to all fields and the spiritual path will only rarely have been taken, which God has indicated in order to attain the right knowledge .... Without Him, however, all paths are dangerous, without Him the results are doubtful and people more or less enter danger zones, because they are guided by the one who does not want progress but destruction .... who lets people believe that they are constructively active while they are digging their own graves .... and contribute towards the ruin of the old earth. For the apparently scientific progress is his work, the work of God’s adversary, he impels people into extreme intellectual activity without divine support. They will harness natural forces yet in a different way than is intended by God’s will .... They will leave the divine order and the consequences of this will reveal themselves ....

God, however, has foreseen humanity’s will and activity since the beginning and therefore keeps referring to what will come to pass time and again, for He knows when and where the consequences of human thought and activity will express themselves .... He informs people about their wrong thinking and wants to persuade them to entrust themselves to that power which stands above everything .... He wants to warn them of His adversary’s influence .... He wants to advise them to remain within the divine order .... He considers those who acknowledge Him as God and Creator of eternity and enlightens them about Himself and His opposing power ....

Serious Words from the heavenly Father ....
Physician ....
Medicine ....

What I administer is a truly beneficial medicine for your soul which enables its recovery and makes it suitable for eternal life in beatitude. Yet what good is it to you if you don’t use it, if you indeed know its healing power but don’t utilise it .... what is the use of listening to My Word if you don’t live accordingly .... if therefore the strength of My Word cannot take effect on you? You have a most effective means of healing but don’t put its effectiveness to the test; you seek advice from Me as your soul’s physician but don’t follow My instructions and thus cannot get better although you are under the care of a good physician .... You don’t want to live up to My advice and therefore remain in a miserable state, and your soul’s hardship remains undiminished .... it has to suffer because you deny it help. And the soul’s suffering results in earthly adversity, for thereby I want you to think about the fact that your way of life is wrong, that it puts your soul at risk and that it ought to beware not it lose its life ....

Yet I can only ever offer you what will help your soul .... If it doesn’t accept My medicine it will remain sick and in a wretched state and unable to enjoy the spiritual life .... This is why hearing My Word will not benefit you greatly as long as you don’t make any effort to live accordingly .... for you will only receive strength when you put My Word into practise by fulfilling My commandments of love. Only when you carry out deeds of love on earth will you be permeated by My strength of love yourselves, and that also signifies your soul’s recovery, it signifies a state of life in strength and light .... I would like all of you to attain this and therefore seriously admonish you to take My Words to heart and act accordingly .... I caution you not to treat your soul’s life carelessly but to straight away provide it with the strength it needs to get well again .... I exhort you to ask Me for help if you are unable, if you are too weak, to accomplish your will .... I will provide you with the strength if only you turn to Me with complete confidence, if you call upon Me with your heart and confess your weakness .... For I Am always your Physician and Helper Who will never leave you at the mercy of your fate but wants to save those who are ailing in body and soul ....

Amen

God’s help towards attaining beatitude ....
Free will ....

After all, I only want to help you attain beatitude .... and because I see that you humans are taking wrong paths I approach you in order to put you right. Nevertheless, I can only show you the right way and only admonish you to take it, but then your will must agree to follow My advice .... But this will of yours is weak and fickle, for as soon as someone comes your way enticing you to walk with him you no longer remember My Words and join the tempter, you follow the one who leads you away from the right goal. The human being’s conduct is influenced from both sides but he himself decides according to his will. This is why I, apart from My Words which urge people to make the right decision, also have to send hardship and misery upon a person to prevent him from following the tempter .... making it impossible for him to go along with him .... but this does not yet mean with certainty that he will follow Me; he can also remain inactive by the wayside and precious time can pass by which he could have used to move on ....

Yet this, too, is up to his free will which must not be infringed upon. No matter where he stays .... My love will not leave and always have an effect on him, and no person will be able to say that I have not crossed his path and time and again brought him My Word which shall help him to use his will in the right direction. Time after time people will be addressed by Me, and especially during earthly adversity I reveal Myself as a loving Father Who grants His children’s prayers .... And therefore it is certainly possible for them to comply with My Word and thus take the right path towards ascent .... to recognise the worthlessness of the enticement presented to them by the tempter .... and to subsequently choose Me as their leader Whom they gladly follow and with Whose help they will reach the goal .... My sole intention is to make you happy but your will must also accept it because I cannot force you into beatitude .... otherwise you would already be blessed creatures yet without freedom of will .... thus you would act in the law of compulsion and that excludes perfection. You, however, shall shape yourselves voluntarily into My children .... only then will you be able to be and remain blissfully happy forever ....

Amen

Earthly task: Fulfilment of the commandments of love ....

Every one of you was given a task, and every one fulfils it according to his will, for every human being’s will is free. But to know your task is a prerequisite, and this knowledge is conveyed to you through My Word .... which subsequently can indeed be heard and adhered to but also be dismissed .... the consequences of which, however, you will have to bear yourselves. Anyone who complies with the requirements of My Word fulfils My will, hence also his earthly task, and therefore this person can also speak of spiritual progress. Yet even the earthly-minded person should know that one day he will have to be answerable for his failure .... that he was not offered the Word as a message of My will without reason .... that he must also heed it if he wants to fulfil his earthly task .... He must know that his life will not last forever and that he ought to utilise his short life on earth for eternity. And to utilise it means to first fulfil My commandments of love .... by doing so he will then become worthy of My love and receive the strength to improve his soul .... to accomplish the psychological work which is the purpose of his earthly existence. Every one who endeavours to live in love will also know that he was not placed on earth arbitrarily or without reason but that this is connected to the attainment of a goal, and he will sincerely strive towards this goal .... towards unity with Me ....

However, anyone who disregards love, who only tries to achieve for his own advantage, closes his own entrance into eternal life .... for he lacks love, which alone is the key to happiness. He also lacks realisation, he doesn’t know anything about the meaning and purpose of his earthly existence nor does he accept an explanation about it. Fulfilment of My commandments of love for God and ones neighbour will assure that the human being gains realisation, and anyone who uses My commandments as a guiding principle for his life on earth will have to become enlightened. He cannot go astray; his path will infallibly lead into the spheres of eternal bliss, for he utterly submits himself to My will, he leads his life within My eternal order, he is in constant contact with Me and therefore receives strength in abundance. And he, in turn, will only use this strength for implementing deeds of love again, for he will be impelled to do so by My spirit which is in direct contact with Me and unable to influence him in any other way than in a good way .... Thus he will fulfil his earthly task by trying to integrate himself as well as his fellow human beings with the eternal order, by trying to establish the eternal order within himself and, in line with his realisation, also help his fellow human beings to submit themselves to Me and My will, so that that they, too, will establish this contact with Me and achieve the purpose of their earthly lives ....

Primordial-sin ....
Love-beam ....
Jesus Christ ....

The first sin of rebellion against Me was cause for the far distance between Me and My creatures, because with the rejection of Myself they also refused My Power of love, they themselves stepped out of My love-beam-circuit while continuously moving further away from Me. Resistance against Me is also like rejecting My love-power, which is why no human being who is still opposing Me within, can experience My flow-through love-beams. And a resistance is already apparent; he has no faith in Me and has therefore no connection with Me. Thus he is standing outside of My love-beam-circuit .... he feels nothing of My love because he is not voluntarily opening self to It and not willing to associate with Me. Not acknowledging Me means having totally succumbed to the one who long ago rebelled against Me and became My opponent as a result .... and who’s plan it is to influence all creatures in such a way that they likewise feel of Me as non-existent, that they have no faith in a Being Who created them and Who wishes to be in connection with them.

But the non-acknowledgement of such is the outcome of total weakness and mental darkness .... Light and power is only available through Me .... and light and power they scorn because they scorn the Provider of light and power .... for they have no faith in the Original-Source of Light and Power, out of Whom they emerged .... In like measure though, as they are rejecting the Original-Source, they are making themselves incapable to be fed by this Original-Source, hence they stay light- and powerless until they are striving towards this Source with their free will .... until they acknowledge the Power Who created them, und thus are opening themselves to be supplied with the Divine-love-power .... until they unite with the Provider of light and power.

And now they receive in abundance according their need to become blissful .... to again enter into the Original-condition, which they once left voluntarily. Every man who turns to Me, shall abundantly receive, for My Love never overexerts itself .... it wants to give continually and make happy and only demands open vessels into which it can pour itself. And as soon as the serious will in man is awakened to unite with the Power which created him, he will turn away from primordial-sin, from the rebellion against Me; then he will safely reach his goal with the help of the divine Redeemer, Jesus Christ, Who shed His blood as payment for the sake of this great original-guilt ....

Who infinitely had suffered and died on the cross, earning the feeble humanity a mercy-treasure .... will-strength and recognizing of their guilt .... every human being can now shorten the vast distance from Me, every man can now find forgiveness for the immense guilt of the former rebellion against Me; every man can now enter again into the love-beam-circuit and receive light and power in excess .... helping himself to the blessings, which through Jesus Christ’s work of redemption are at his disposal abundantly .... if he acknowledges Me, I as Jesus, a human, who have paid off your guilt for you, through the death on the cross.

Amen

Jesus had prior knowledge of His act ....

I wanted to suffer on your behalf and therefore consciously prepared Myself for dying on the cross .... I was aware of the exceedingly arduous path of suffering I had to take in order to redeem you from adversity and death .... I foresaw everything, nothing I had to endure was hidden from Me, and yet, I walked towards it .... I did not defend Myself, I did not escape the danger but consciously approached it. I not only foresaw the sequence of My act of Salvation, I foresaw the weakness and bondage which kept My living creations down in immense adversity and to whom I could only bring deliverance through My suffering and death on the cross ....

Everything stood brightly and clearly before My spiritual eye, the brutal power of My adversary, the fallen beings’ abysmal distance from God which constantly increased .... I saw pitch-black darkness on one side and brightest light and happiness on the other .... I had come from the light and also wanted to carry it into the darkness, yet this necessitated a bridge, I had to offer something in exchange in order to be entitled to lift the tormented souls out of the abyss into the light .... I had to use My life in order to buy life for the wretched creatures. The path of self-sacrifice was the only option... the sacrifice of the highest good I possessed .... My life, for the sake of love for those who were dead as the consequence of sin. I had to pay for their life with My life ....

Everything stood brightly and clearly before My eyes, for this reason I already suffered dreadfully before, because, being human, I was created with the same emotions as you .... with the fear of death, of the appalling suffering and of Myself, that I might get exhausted, that My strength might not be enough and that My fallen brothers would have to remain in the great adversity were I to fail ....

However, the nearer the day of the happening came the more My strength grew .... My strength grew like My love for the wretched human race, whose hardship I recognised every day more .... And even though I was sporadically seized by weakness in view of what was ahead of Me, My will nevertheless did not weaken to finish the work which I had started .... For the human part of Me kept in contact with the Father at all times, Who permeated Me with strength so that My love became increasingly more powerful and I finally died fully consciously, because I also realised that death had to be overcome and that this was My task as well ....

The path to the cross was bitter and excruciating, for I had to go through profound darkness in order to open the gate into the kingdom of light for all those who wanted to ascend from the abyss into the light .... However, as a human being I had to endure the most bitter suffering and torment in order to help you, who, without My act of Salvation, without My death on the cross, would have been irretrievably lost .... This is why My earthly existence as a human was so tremendously sorrowful, for from the moment the Father had revealed Himself in My physical shell I was also aware of everything that awaited Me, and yet I voluntarily walked the path to the cross, for not the Father’s will but My love for the fallen beings impelled Me to accomplish the act of Salvation, and this love gave Me the strength to persevere until the hour of death ....

Fighting with the sword of the tongue ....

What you shall say will be given to you in that hour .... These are the Words I spoke on earth in anticipation of the adversity you will experience before the end when you will have to be answerable to the earthly authority, when you have to justify your thoughts and actions and you are required to renounce Me .... Then don’t be alarmed and don’t anxiously consider what you shall say, but say frankly and courageously what is given to you to say .... For My spirit will intervene and I will place the Words into your mouth, well-judged for those who ask you to speak. I will help all those who want to remain faithful to Me and give them the strength to offer resistance. And all fear will disappear; you will feel Me and be full of confidence that I won’t abandon you in this crisis .... You will not fear those who threaten you because you know that One is stronger than those and that this One is on your side and truly will let no injustice happen to you. However, you will have to fight with the sword of your tongue .... You will have to refute all objections and also be able to do so because it is no longer you who will speak, but I Myself will speak through you and My Words will truly have the desired effect. For it is necessary that they, too, have to be made to think, as even amongst these there are still weak and undecided people who will then have reached a crossroad and will not know which way to turn. The path shall be pointed out to them; if they take it they can be considered blessed, but if they disregard it they will hardly be given the grace again to be spoken to by a leader who tries to guide them correctly. During this time there will be no other way but to fight with the sword of the tongue, and the more convincingly My representatives on earth speak, the more antagonistic people they will win over. And thus it is My will that you should then closely unite with Me so that I Myself can speak through you to those I still want to gain. I know that the time will come when the worst comes to the worst, when you will be put under extreme pressure and thus will have to justify yourselves .... but then remember My Words that you should not anxiously ask what you shall say, but hand yourselves over with complete confidence to Me and My working .... And you will speak with wisdom, so that not one of your opponents will be able to reply to it .... You, who want to serve Me, have no enemy to fear, for you fight for Me and by My side, and I will truly also lead you to victory ....

Divine spark ....
Correct relationship with God ....

You all carry the divine spark within you which wants to guide you on your earthly path of life providing you allow it to do so and enable it to express itself and instruct you. No human being has to rely on himself; everyone may expect My support; everyone only needs to make contact with Me and I will influence the person through My spirit .... Although you are inseparably connected to Me from the start precisely because of this very spiritual spark you shelter within and which is part of the Father-Spirit .... thus it always stays connected with Me .... it nevertheless remains silent in you as long as you don’t consciously hand yourselves over to its guidance .... as long as you still keep yourselves isolated from Me in thoughts as well as in your nature. And thus it is up to you as to whether you feel that you are part of Me, whether you let yourselves be guided and advised .... It is up to you as to whether you establish the right relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child to its Father .... or of the living creation to its God and Creator. The acknowledgement alone that you are subject to Me as your Creator of eternity is already a step of coming closer to Me .... which will also surely lead you to the point that you will recognise and strive towards Me as your Father one day. Then you will allow My spiritual spark in you to influence you, to warn and admonish you to refrain from evil and to do what is good. Once you acknowledge Me I will be able to speak to you through the spirit. My Words will become ever more loving, the influence of God’s spirit will generate ever more love the more you recognise your Father in Me and then, as My children, also obediently abide by the inner voice, which will truly only ever instruct you to your benefit. The connection with Me will remain always and forever, but it will depend on you as to whether you become conscious of it. As soon as your thoughts rise up to Me in prayer you will consciously establish the connection with Me, enabling Me to influence you through My spirit. And so, no human being is isolated from Me in Creation unless he prefers this isolation; if he turns away from Me by himself, if he believes himself to have no connection with the Power Which created him, then he is indeed isolated and will not be influenced by Me either .... Then the indwelling divine spark will rest dormant in him, it will not express itself in any way, neither will the human being’s free will be infringed upon, the person’s attitude towards Me will not be imposed on him .... he must establish the bond with Me of his own accord if he wants to experience the blessing of such a bond which, however, will irrevocably lead to perfection ....

The human being’s destiny ....
Desire for truth ....

The human being’s destiny is the perfection of his soul on earth .... You humans were given the goal of spiritual maturity, which you should strive for and accomplish voluntarily, so that you will be suitable for the spiritual kingdom at the end of your earthly life. However, this irrefutable truth is only accepted by a few who will live their earthly lives accordingly .... Most people’s thoughts are still deluded, they are spiritually blind and will not allow themselves to be disturbed when they are confronted by the truth .... They are only able to demonstrate their soul’s low degree of development but do nothing in order to improve it .... they do not believe .... neither in a purpose of earthly life nor in accountability. Nor do they believe in a connection between creation and Creator .... and do not look for any clarification of what is tremendously important: what will happen to them after they have left their earthly body .... since they do not believe in life after death either ....

Nevertheless, their unbelief will not protect them from their responsibility because they have free will and are not forced into unbelief, into their attitude towards God .... to Whom they could have given themselves voluntarily in order to then be constantly guided in their thoughts and actions as a result of their right attitude for God .... Because every person can turn to God, and he has no valid excuse for turning away from him other than that he doesn’t want to .... Because as soon as he wants to know the truth it will be given to him by God, and then the human being himself will establish the right relationship with God .... That people’s thoughts and wants differ is their own doing since the desire for truth assures correct thinking. Hence everyone should scrutinise himself as to how much he himself wants the truth .... If he indifferently accepts everything given to him as credible he will have no desire for truth himself or else he would scrutinise it ..... And if he rejects everything given to him it could equally be an indifference to truth, which he is not seeking and which he therefore will never be able to recognise as truth either.

It is a person’s own fault if he is ignorant, if he walks in spiritual blindness, because there is no desire for truth in him .....

And no person can use the excuse that he does not know what truth is and could never assess it himself either .... on account of which he will reject everything. It is undeniably impossible for him to examine whether any information is based on truth, because he has to request God’s support for it .... since his intellect alone is unable to carry out such an investigation. However, as soon as he turns to God Himself for support, for spiritual enlightenment, he will clearly know and be able to differentiate between truth and error .... But this requires faith in God .... And even the intellect will be able to affirm this faith if the person’s will is good .... because all of creation is witness to the existence of a wise, omnipotent Creator and every intelligent human being wanting to penetrate the truth should be able to call upon this creative Spirit of eternity for help .... And he will soon receive clarification about his task on earth; he will give the right meaning to his life on earth and no longer live carelessly. He will be conscious of his responsibility for his soul and enable it to achieve the highest possible level of perfection ....

The guise of piety ....
Satan’s activity ....

Under the guise of piety many sins are committed on earth. This is Satan’s activity, who hides under a hypocritical garment so as to be able to treacherously influence those people even more who allow themselves to be taken in by external pomp and splendour .... People lack their own light and therefore accept the light from those who have no light themselves and merely avail themselves of illusive light .... And in this illusive light they will hardly find the path they should take and easily go astray by believing to be on the right path. It is far easier to recognise an enemy who openly confronts people .... the adversary, however, conceals himself and gives the appearance of belonging to My Own, of speaking on My behalf and to have received authority from Me, so that it is easy for him to find followers .... gullible people who lack the right kind of love. For with the right kind of love they would be so enlightened that the illusive light would be unable to prevail. But people pay more attention to appearances, to imitations, than to the truth which originates from Me .... precisely because they lack love .... And My adversary certainly knows how to prevent love by trying to replace it with something else, by passing laws and portraying the fulfilment of these laws as more important than anything else .... but he knows how to displace My commandments of love so cleverly that people barely become aware of their heartless way of life, because they eagerly submit themselves to the humanly decreed commandments believing to have done enough. A person could certainly realise this himself were it his serious will to live a life that pleases Me .... Yet his vision has been clouded by the splendour surrounding those who present themselves as My representatives on earth .... and who are actually the representatives of the one who opposes Me and who campaigns against Me. Anyone who has kindled the light of love within himself can see everything brightly and clearly and disgustedly turns away from conduct which can never be My will .... However, anyone who still lives in darkness because he lacks inner light will delight in illusive lights and time and again rush to them but without thereby receiving true light .... Only kindness of heart, unselfish neighbourly love, kindles a true light and anyone who walks in this light is taking the right path .... for I Myself will walk beside him on this path, then the illusive light will no longer cause him harm, for he will avoid it, he will stay away, because then he will be warned by his heart of the one who conceals himself under the guise of piety .... He will be unmasked when the time is right .... Yet first everyone shall live up to My commandments of love, then all the pomp and splendour of the world will not harm him anymore, for then his inner light will shine far stronger and he will take the right path unscathed on which .... guided by Me .... he will reach his goal ....

Hour of reckoning - Judgment ....
Retribution ....

Whether high, whether low .... whether poor, whether rich, young or old .... one day you all will have to give account for your way of life on earth when your last day has come. No-one will be able to avoid this accountability, for one day the hour of reckoning will come, the hour of judgment which will then decide the state of your soul and your subsequent fate .... Although you humans doubt the soul’s life after death, although you deem your life to be concluded after your body’s death .... you will not escape this last Judgment either .... and to your horror you will have to realise that you thought wrongly and that your life was a waste of time, for only a few of those who denied life after death will have lived a life of love .... And these few will begin to understand and have the desire to put right what they did wrong. And they will soon find helpers to assist them in their spiritual hardship .... Yet where all faith is lacking and little love present the hour of judgment will be bitter, for the fate awaiting them will be in line with their state of maturity .... lacking strength and light .... they will helplessly vegetate in agonising darkness .... No soul can escape this fate, even if it held the most reputable position of distinction on earth, for all those who had not created a spiritual garment for themselves on earth will arrive naked and poor in the beyond .... who only took care of the body but not of the soul, whose intentions and thoughts only concerned earthly possessions and who had no belief whatsoever in retribution, in a life after death. To create a spiritual garment for itself in the kingdom of the beyond, which signifies an improvement, is incredibly difficult for the soul .... but not impossible .... However, it often takes a long time before such souls can muster the will for it. And since the soul has to tackle the transformation itself, it can often take eternities until it decides to do so. People on earth do not consider their end and the responsibility they are approaching, consequently, they do not prepare themselves for it; and if, after their death, they only faintly realise their situation they will no longer be able to change it, because they will lack the strength which they had at their disposal on earth in abundance. For just as only loving activity helps the soul attain perfection on earth, so it also does in the kingdom of the beyond .... but loving activity means: wanting to give, to help and to please .... The souls, however, arrive in a very poor state and possess nothing they would be able to give; they have no strength in order to be able to help, they are wretched themselves and therefore cannot bestow happiness .... they are poor and miserable and need help themselves. People don’t realise that one day they will reap what they sowed on earth .... Yet, according to divine justice, everything needs to be compensated, and everyone will receive according to merit. Every soul will have to accept the fate it acquired through its life on earth .... And the hour will come for everyone when he has to justify himself .... the hour of judgment comes for every soul on its last day ....

Speedy end ....
Fulfilment of the predictions ....

Don’t be misled and believe My Words, which announce the near end to you .... You have not been informed of the day and the hour because it is not beneficial for you if you knew them. Yet none of you envisage the day of the end to be as near as has been determined for eternity. Each one of you still keeps his eyes so firmly on the world that the fact, that it should all come to a speedy end, doesn’t seem possible to him .... for each one of you is still very earthly minded, even if he belongs to My Own and has spiritual aspirations. For you are living in the midst of the world and still have to do your work. And this is why your thoughts are often so far removed from what I have always and forever foretold. Time and again you are told that the end will come suddenly and unexpectedly .... And you humans will not determine the time, for I will come like a thief in the night .... But don’t mock what lies ahead of you just because you don’t believe it .... so that you will not have to regret it one day. Time and again I awaken seers and prophets in order to warn and admonish you through them to prepare yourselves for the inevitable. And yet I will not inform you of the day and the hour so as not to confuse you, so as not to restrict your thoughts and actions. And even when the day comes it will take people by surprise, because nothing extraordinary will happen beforehand and worldly people more than ever indulge in pleasures and enjoy their lives .... Just a few see the light but their admonitions are laughed at .... until I intervene and My Word fulfils itself .... Therefore accept everything conveyed to you through the voice of the spirit as pure truth .... Expect the end very soon, for the time has been fulfilled .... the time of the harvest has arrived ....

Questioning thoughts are the first step towards ascent ....

You humans take a significant step forward if you raise your thoughts up to Me .... to the infinite Spirit Who rules the universe .... if you turn with questioning thoughts to the Being in the belief that It created you .... For this step already takes you into the spiritual realm, you enter a sphere which cannot be made accessible to you by people but which has to be made known to you by Me Myself .... although I also avail Myself of people again if you yourselves are not yet appropriately shaped so as to be able to hear Me and My answer .... Nevertheless you will have established the mental bond with Me first, and blessed are you if you don’t disconnect this connection with Me again .... if you time and again detach yourselves from the world and try to find Me .... Blessed are you if you mentally ask questions so that I will be able to mentally reply to you .... For this is the beginning of your assured spiritual enlightenment and therefore also an ever firmer bond with Me .... Just for once think about whether and what exists outside of earthly-visible things .... and you will have already taken that significant step, for it is decisive for your development .... it is the step to higher spheres which has to be taken by every person who wants to become perfect. But in order to do this a person must be able to detach himself from the world, he must not wholeheartedly succumb to it, he must have recognised the worthlessness of earthly matter, for this matter blocks his path of ascent. But once a person has allowed his thoughts to wander into spiritual heights earthly matter will soon no longer be desirable to him ....

However, the desire to find out more about an as yet unknown sphere has to arise in him by itself, and this wish will certainly be granted. Hence the destined progression of every person’s earthly life provides him with the reason and would be able to make him think .... he will be directed to spiritual spheres through books or conversations, and he will time and again be gently addressed by Me Myself in the form of thoughts arising in him with a spiritual goal .... And then his will must guide him and blessed is he if it takes the right direction .... Questions arising in him concerning Me are often better than a belief in Me which is not yet alive, for I Am able to educate someone who mentally asks questions and reveal Myself to him such that he can gain convinced faith .... whereas a conventional believer will not ask questions and can therefore not be instructed such that his faith will awaken to life. Everything will truly be done on My part to stimulate a person into thinking, yet I will not infringe upon free will .... However, anyone who willingly makes mental contact with Me or the spiritual kingdom which is as yet inaccessible to him will not be excluded by Me .... My love will reveal itself to him and he will learn to see brightly and clearly, his spirit will become enlightened and he will belong to Me forever ....

Strong faith ....
Success ....
Love ....

With strong faith in My help you will achieve anything, even if it seems impossible to you .... For nothing is impossible to Me .... But the spirit of love must be active in you .... everything you do or want to achieve has to be based on love. Then My strength of love, which you will have acquired yourselves through your love, must undeniably move into action. And thus you will be able to achieve everything you want to do for Me and My kingdom, for then your love for Me and your fellow human beings will be the driving force which, in turn, will guarantee you the influx of My strength of love .... and you will also be distinctly effective, if only you believe .... Firm faith is an important factor for your success which, however, will certainly be present wherever there is love .... And if your faith in My help begins to weaken then just seriously consider in your heart that I Am, after all, Love Myself .... that I love you and therefore won’t deny you anything except what will harm your soul .... but which you would not request anyway once you began to live in love .... For then your enlightened spirit will also realise why you should not make such a request ....

Yet if you suffer earthly hardship, if you are heavily burdened by your cross, if you find yourselves in peril of body and soul, then come to Me with confidence and you will experience My love, your prayers will be granted to you .... because I love you .... Time and again you must bear My profound love in mind if you are at risk of becoming faint-hearted, if your faith is weak .... I won’t turn away from you even if you commit a sin but even less so if you are in trouble .... Therefore, believe and trust, and you will receive earthly help .... and believe and trust that I will also support you spiritually as soon as you want to be of service to Me. You should never doubt that you will succeed, because you can always make use of My strength which is at everyone’s disposal if your plans are based on love for Me and your fellow human beings .... With Me and My strength you will achieve everything if only you believe firmly and without doubt.

Amen

‘Fear not ....’

Don’t fear, only believe .... Nothing will frighten you, nothing will oppress you if only you believe firmly and unshakeably .... And thus, a strong faith can mean an easier earthly life for you, for then you will not fear anything and you can walk along untroubled, your thoughts always turned towards the One Who will help you in every adversity .... You should be inwardly firmly convinced that you have a Father in heaven Who is watching over His children and will not leave them in difficulty, because He loves His children .... This firm conviction is already the assurance that this is so .... And what indeed could be more powerful than your Father in heaven?

No human being on earth and no being of darkness can resist Him, and therefore you need not fear that anyone on earth or any dark being would be able to harm you if you believe in God’s greater than great love and the protection He has promised you. For His Words are: ‘Come unto Me all ye that labour .... Ask, and it shall be given, knock, and it shall be opened .... Lift up your eyes to Me, Who will bring you help ....’ If you succeed in making the Words of His love your own, if you feel addressed by the Father yourselves, then you will no longer oppose them with doubt and faithfully wait until help will arrive .... There is nothing He cannot ward off .... there is nothing impossible for Him .... And thus there is always a solution, even if you cannot foresee one yourself .... He will truly find the means; He will find a way out of every adversity .... Contemplate these Words deep within your heart until all doubt has vanished, until you entrust yourselves to Him without fear and wait patiently .... For His love is for you, His children, and this love will never end ....

Living creations becoming children of God ....

It pleased Me to furnish you with all your abilities .... but the development of these abilities is left up to you .... I created you with all the aptitudes to shape yourselves into gods .... but you have to make use of these aptitudes. For I gave you free will which must now strive for that which is My plan: your transformation from living creations into children .... This is something I cannot accomplish by virtue of My power as then free will .... the characteristic of divinity and perfection .... would be excluded. Thus all prerequisites for ‘becoming God’s children’ are in place, only free will has to step into action now .... thus you yourselves have to want to shape yourselves into My children, you must accomplish the deification of your nature yourselves. And for this purpose you were given life on earth. You were created in perfection and able to use your free will from the start, which belonged to a perfect being as well .... You, who are embodied on earth, misused your free will, you did not use it in a positive but in a negative way .... even though, as perfect beings you had full realisation which, however, was not allowed to impede your expression of free will .... You voluntarily chose a different lord and turned away from Me .... in other words .... you voluntarily forfeited the perfection which characterised your divine nature by not resisting ungodly thoughts and cravings, by taking pleasure in them and thus excluding the principle of love .... the epitome of perfection .... and you thereby also distanced yourselves from Me, the eternal Love .... Your free will managed to do this, for the abilities bestowed upon you would have sufficed fully to deify yourselves .... You could just as easily have voluntarily allowed yourselves to be governed by everything of a noble, good and perfect nature, you could have given your love to Me and striven towards Me as a Father with all your senses .... and you would have demonstrated that you were and wanted to remain perfect, divine beings ....

Thus you fell of your own free will which subsequently had to accept the consequences: to reach from the abyss, under far more difficult conditions, the previous pinnacle again .... Sooner or later you will have to pass this required test of will, therefore you had to travel an infinitely long path because you had sunk so infinitely low as a result of your own fault. Yet I helped you out of this abyss because in your weakness you were incapable of achieving it on your own .... However, I constrained your previously free will in order to prevent you from falling back .... You took the path through the works of creation with your will bound until you reached the stage of a human being .... But now you have been given back your free will and must face having to take the test of will again .... the same task is expected of you all over again: to deify yourselves voluntarily, and that is only possible if you transform yourselves into love .... if you change your inherent selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love .... if you make the principle of love the guiding principle of your intentions, thoughts and actions. You have the ability to do so but you must develop it yourselves .... And with the right will you can certainly succeed and then you will have reached the goal, if only by making a long detour, after an infinitely long time .... However, it is possible for you to fail and once again not pass the test of will, then you will have to linger for an infinitely long time in a state of imperfection and far away from Me again .... I will always offer you the opportunity to reach your goal, nevertheless, your will is free and this determines the length of time until you reach perfection.

God’s reply to thoughts ....
Presence ....

You can always be convinced of My presence if your thoughts revolve around Me, if you send an appealing call to Me, if you mentally entrust your problems to Me .... In that case you can consider yourselves addressed by Me and need only pay attention to the thoughts coming to you if you quietly listen within .... For I will answer you .... even if you believe this answer to be your own thoughts .... It is My will and My goal that all people shall establish contact with Me in thought .... yet only a few put it into practise .... Consequently it should be self-evident that I will delight these few with My presence because they turn to Me in their thoughts. For every such thought affects Me like a childlike call which I will not fail to hear, after all, I Am waiting for it .... And the nature of the call determines My reply .... as long as you are not yet so intimately connected to Me due to your loving activity that I will be able to impart knowledge to you independently from your thinking .... which, however, requires your belief that I speak to you through the spirit .... In that case, however, you will also be completely convinced of My presence which will give obvious evidence of itself.

Yet the fact that your thinking of Me will likewise affect My presence and that I will then also speak to you is unknown to you humans .... and neither do you know how easily you can draw Me to yourselves and enter into an ever more intimate relationship with Me if you accomplish unselfish neighbourly love, since thereby you draw Me, the Eternal Love, close to you. Then you will be able to strengthen your bond with Me and finally attain a degree of love which is the prerequisite for an obvious working of the spirit within and for you .... You just have to believe that you yourselves are the cause of your God and Father ‘s presence due to your thinking of Him .... If you look at your daily life from this point of view you will soon consider every hour wasted you have not thought of Me; for if you know that I can and want to be present to you, you will only be happy when you are in silent mental contact with Me .... And you will comply with My gentle urging to perform loving actions and also become aware of the light and strength which will arise in you from such contacts with Me ....

Rebirth ....
Futile life on earth ....

Your earthly life is futile if your soul does not progress spiritually .... if you cannot succeed to lift yourselves into spiritual spheres during this time .... to free yourselves from the tight bond with earth .... with material belongings .... if you don’t accomplish spiritual rebirth on earth. Your soul is meant to step out of dark detention into a bright life, it is meant to free itself from all physical bondage because it is a spirit and only happy in the spiritual realm where it is free from all restrictions. The earthly body is a constraint for the soul and the body’s desires are always of a physical nature .... If it allows itself to be controlled by the body then the soul will stay imprisoned, it will remain earthly-minded and all spiritual desire will be stifled. It has to free itself from physical longings; it should not give in to the demands of the body because the soul is the carrier of the will and has self-determination .... If it successfully overcomes the body or even persuades the body to follow its wishes or to do what it has identified as being ‘better’ then it will be given tremendous support by the spirit which is buried deep within itself, which pushes the soul ever further towards the spiritual kingdom, offering it the riches of the spiritual realm and portraying them as the only attraction worth striving for ....

As soon as the soul is open to spiritual instruction its fate in eternity will have been decided, its rise will be assured and earthly life will have brought success for eternity .... Yet the soul’s preceding struggle is very hard when the body influences it in every way, when it is too weak to offer resistance, when the body remains dominant and clouds the soul so that it meekly gives itself to the body .... As soon as you humans are attracted to the world, as soon as you want to gain everything you can from it, as soon as you dispel all spiritual thoughts as they emerge, you will be in great danger because you will not be aware of the purpose of your earthly life and strive towards entirely different goals than those for whose attainment you live on earth ....

Your earthly life soon passes and at the hour of death you have to leave behind all worldly material possessions which you have gained .... You will be miserable if you enter the next world without spiritual wealth .... Don’t let your time on earth be in vain, strive to free yourselves from everything that only serves the body but is of no benefit to the soul. And strive for the kingdom which is your true home and which you will enter again without fail when your physical life comes to an end .... but which can be rather different, depending on the quality of your soul .... Therefore improve yourselves, work and achieve for the spiritual kingdom as long as your earthly life is left to you .... or you will bitterly regret when it is too late ....

The spirit of love protects against temptations and God’s adversary ....

Always remain in the spirit of love .... Only then will you be protected from the enemy’s onslaughts, for he takes flight from love, and a person with a heart full of love will not be approached by him. However, as soon as merely a tiny spark of unkindness makes itself felt in the human heart he can slip in and will try every means to make more space for himself. He will entice him into becoming impatient, into becoming self-righteous and proud in order to stifle the love in him, in order to then have free reign and to make the human being’s will compliant to him. He will never succeed where love is present, for this offers him no target, it defends itself and has the strength to repel him .... Yet time and again the human being encounters situations in which he should prove himself because he can only ascend by fighting or helping .... And thus he will have to overcome opposition, he will have to bend down to the helpless person and help him get up, thus he will have to practise helpful neighbourly love .... If he does, his battles will become less, because then the love in him will give him strength to prove himself as his resistance grows. Yet the human being must take care not to let the fire of love die down .... if he does not want to hand himself over to the tempter who is instantly prepared to help by extinguishing the fire of love entirely .... He is full of cunning and trickery and a master at setting traps into which you gullibly fall if the light of love in your hearts does not burn so brightly that you recognise him no matter how cleverly he disguises himself .... Hence, the call can only ever go out to you: Remain in the spirit of love .... for then you will be united with God and need not fear the enemy. And you can also successfully face every temptation with love .... regardless of its nature .... If people want to humiliate you, if they want to provoke you into becoming impatient, if they try to make you envious .... the tempter is always behind it and you will defeat him and chase him away if you remain in love .... Then all this will have no effect on you, you will only regard your fellow human beings as ailing souls who allow themselves to be used by the opponent for such temptations, and you will approach them with love and occasionally also cause them to reflect on it and stop their unfair words and actions .... For love is strength and will not remain ineffective where it is not resisted .... For this reason you should exemplify a life of love to your fellow human beings, which is frequently more successful than words, which are not proven through an action .... Remain in love and remember that you thereby remain in the One Who is Love Himself .... and that His presence is an assured protection against all onslaughts by the enemy of your souls ....

The right amount of selfish love ....
‘As yourself ....’

Making a sacrifice on behalf of your fellow human being is true unselfish neighbourly love .... in that case you love your fellow human being more than yourselves. And if you give to him what you find desirable yourselves then you also love him as you love yourselves .... I only require this neighbourly love, i.e. this, too, has to be voluntarily practised in order to result in spiritual blessings for you .... However, if you are also willing to make sacrifices, if you voluntarily go without in order to give to your fellow human being, then this neighbourly love will be far more valuable and as a result the soul’s achievement will be far bigger .... The human being is granted a certain amount of selfish love because it is needed for the fulfilment of earthly tasks, so that the human being can sustain his physical life, so that he can give what the body requires to himself in order to be able to live his earthly life .... It is just that this selfish love should not be exaggerated, so that the person does not consider his fellow human being .... so that he only ever gives to himself and thereby directs his love wrongly .... This is why I added the Words: ‘as yourself ....’

And thus the human being will be able to use this guideline in relation to his thoughts and actions .... he must, if he wants to fulfil My will, consider his fellow human being in the same way as he considers himself. And depending on his heart’s willingness to love the human being he will then find it either easier or more difficult to comply with My commandment. But anyone who considers himself less important than his fellow human being will have an exceptionally loving heart, and he will very easily attain perfection .... Yet everything is left up to you .... I certainly gave you the commandment of love, but someone who doesn’t want to fulfil it will ignore the commandment .... whereas a person who loves will not need My commandment. Only love which becomes spontaneously active without having been prompted by commandments is the right kind of love. But a human being whose attention has been drawn to My commandment of love can also carry out deeds of love without being inwardly prompted, by at first merely being encouraged to do so as a result of this commandment .... until the spark of love within him ignites increasingly more and makes the person happy when he kind-heartedly helps his neighbour.

Nevertheless, only what is motivated by love for his fellow human being will be assessed .... Love your neighbour as yourself .... Everyone possesses love for himself, and rightly so, but it must not exceed his love for a fellow human being which, however, is the case if a person ignores his fellow human being’s adversity by believing that he cannot share anything with him because he doesn’t own much himself .... He shall also share the little he has with him and it will not cause him any harm, for if he is motivated by love he will be richly rewarded .... since the measure he uses will be the measure he will receive from Me Myself .... A loving person, however, will not think about it first, he will also give at a loss, and his reward will be truly great in heaven .... For the more he sacrifices, the more he pleases his fellow human being, the richer he will become .... He will be permitted to receive much love and be united with Me because he has changed himself to love ....

Words of comfort ....
Suffering - Illness ....
Connection with God ....

Always rely on Me and the fact that I will show you the right path. Even if it seems to you as if you determine your own destiny, as if you can use your will to turn your earthly life in another direction .... as long as you connect yourselves with Me, as long as you desire contact with Me, I shall guide you and you shall merely comply with My will which I likewise place into your heart, because your resolve to be in contact with Me enables Me to do so. Once someone has joined Me, once someone wants to be in contact with Me, he can stop worrying about his future destiny .... for this will develop such that his soul can derive benefit from everything and it will, indeed, do so if the human being faithfully entrusts himself to Me, if he voluntarily subordinates himself to Me and My guidance .... if he lives his life with Me, if he constantly bears Me in mind and makes an effort to gain My love .... Then he will also possess all My love which only wants his soul’s salvation that consists of the attainment of eternal beatitude.

Believe Me that you then will only have to struggle in earthly life if you refuse to help voluntarily .... Hence you can be spared effort if you actively serve in neighbourly love .... yet suffering and disease can still contribute towards your soul’s purification but it will nevertheless be bearable for you if you take refuge in Me .... I Am always available to you in all earthly and spiritual adversities, and it is My will that due to these you shall join Me ever more intimately until you are so firmly united with Me that I can constantly walk beside you and you are in continuous communication with Me .... that you are always aware of My presence .... and thus live a life in and with Me .... Everything you experience shall only contribute towards you forming an inseparable bond with Me, and then nothing will frighten or worry you again, for the awareness of My constant nearness gives you strength and security in everything you undertake .... And your will shall be My will because you utterly submit yourselves to My will and therefore can only want, think and act as is good before My eyes ....

Will of resistance to truth (Bible) ....

The poverty of people on earth is such that they are not accessible to God’s truth .... They can only find salvation in truth and refuse to accept it .... they oppose it with an extremely strong will of resistance because they are trapped in fallacies and lies .... Only pure truth would be able to enlighten them but people shield themselves from it and yet cannot be forced to surrender their resistance .... This is proof that God’s adversary has great power over humanity, and particularly during the period before the end .... it is proof that heaven is suffering violence, and whoever wants to seize it for himself has to use force. He has to take a forcible step and achieve his separation from all falsehood, all untruth .... he also has to be ready to surrender his knowledge if he wants to receive pure truth. Above all he has to desire the truth with all his heart and mind .... Then he will be able to withstand God’s adversary, and then the adversary’s power will be broken .... Who gives you humans the assurance that the ancient, adopted records correspond to the truth?

Why do you cling so firmly to the distorted reports of human inadequacy and do not consider the Words spoken on earth by the Lord Himself? .... And His Words can truly be correctly understood if they are not just contemplated by the intellect but also by the heart .... Although His Words can indeed be misunderstood as well they will always allow for the meaning which corresponds to the pure truth .... But this does not apply to the words which were added by human beings to the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ .... Because the meaning of human spoken words becomes fixed .... And human spoken words result and have resulted in serious misconceptions and confusions, but they were equated with the Lord’s Words and yet they would only be of equal value if they had been a direct expression of the divine spirit .... However, such words completely concur with the Word of the Lord .... You can severely hurt yourselves if you commit yourselves to words that deal with human nature far too humanly ....

You should know that the spirit of analogy was far more prevalent at the time when Jesus Christ lived on earth than today, but people could understand each other because almost everyone knew the key to the parables, and thus metaphorical comparisons were sometimes used as well which, however, at a later time were interpreted word for word by people .... But as soon as you compare the Word of the Lord Himself with every question of doubt you will also understand the meaning of the figurative comparisons .... but you should never give them precedence over the Word of the Lord .... He brought the pure teaching to you humans, He provided you with information, and His Word has still retained its purity, it is merely frequently misunderstood .... But this does not apply to the words which had been added to His pure Gospel, because these did not remain unchanged, and from time to time human will had substituted the expression of the spirit with intellectual thought .... And this resulted in almost imperceptible changes but which completely sufficed in creating confusion .... in giving rise to misguided teachings, which are truly a great danger to as yet spiritually blind humanity .... And this, too, is a reason why God reveals Himself over and over again to human beings, why He, as the eternal truth, repeatedly transmits the truth to earth, why He imparts His Gospel in all purity to those who, in their desire for truth, pray to Him for it and are willing to pass it on .... God’s spirit has certainly always conveyed the pure truth to His servants, yet time and again the working of the spirit will be negated by common sense people, because people have free will which God does not infringe upon even if .... spurned by His adversary .... it interferes with the pure truth. But time and again God will purify what people have spoilt .... time and again the eternal truth Itself will reveal Itself .... time and again the light of truth will shine for those of good will who open themselves to receive its ray of love ....

Reason for Christ’s birth ....
Act of mercy ....

Full of mercy I looked down to earth upon the enslaved human race .... I saw their immense adversity, nevertheless, even though it was self-inflicted I also saw people’s great weakness whose burden had put such pressure on them that they were no longer able to get up by themselves .... And My love became so powerful that it wanted to bring help to the suffering human race .... My love was so great that I Myself descended to Earth in order to liberate people from their burden of sin and to open the path to Me again for them. My coming down to Earth was an act of love and mercy by your Creator and Father of eternity .... I wanted to bring peace to people, Salvation .... I wanted to enable them to enjoy light and strength again which they had lost due to the sin of their past rebellion against Me .... Humanity was so steeped in darkness that it was no longer capable of finding its way out since it was also totally powerless .... It was in a state of utter wretchedness, for they were held captive by a lord who exerted control over them, who had no intention of ever setting them free again .... But I was also entitled to you because you once emerged from My strength of love .... And I will not give up My entitlement .... I was ready to fight for you against My adversary and I came to Earth not because the Deity but love wanted to wage this battle which subsequently embodied itself in a human being .... thus, to a certain extent, a human being took up the battle against the adversary, Who only used love as a weapon .... hence love waged the battle .... Love motivated Me to descend to Earth in order to take abode in Jesus, the man .... Whose soul was utterly devoted to Me, Who aspired towards union with Me with all His heart and mind, Who sheltered the soul of light in Himself which wanted to help its fallen brothers to return to the Father, to higher spheres again in order to be happy .... That which had remained perfect wanted to help those who had become imperfect attain perfection again .... Love Itself wanted to use Itself in order to bring freedom to the enslaved people .... For this reason I Myself came down to Earth, this is why I no longer closed My ears to the calls of distress which raised up to Me from Earth, I came as the Saviour and Redeemer in order to bring peace to everyone of good will .... For the time had come when humanity had sunk so low that it had to be helped were it not to completely fall prey to ruin. And thus came to pass what had long been announced before .... The light came to Earth and shone into the darkness .... But the darkness did not comprehend it and there were only a few who recognised it as the Saviour Who was sent from above in order to redeem humanity and to bring peace to all people of good will ....

Take this and drink .... I said when I gave them the wine .... which, like My blood .... the strength of My Word .... was to strengthen them .... Bread and wine were symbols for flesh and blood .... and since I Myself Am the Word that became flesh I was entitled to say: This is My body, which is given for to you .... this is My blood, which is shed for you .... For only through My death did I make it possible for you to hear My Word in you .... through My death I burst the chains which kept you in darkness ....

Do understand, you must hear My Word if you want to become blessed .... And My Word must be hungrily received by you, you must eat it and provide your soul with nourishment so that it can live .... for My Word contains the strength which gives life to the soul .... Flesh and blood belong to life, and I died for you so that you will have life .... The bread of life is My Word .... I Myself Am the Word .... and the Word became flesh .... Can there be a more understandable explanation for the Supper I took with My disciples .... And each time you receive My Word and hungrily absorb it you will remember Me .... You cannot receive My Word other than in remembrance of Me because the One Who speaks to you cannot be forgotten as long as you listen to Him ....

When I broke the bread for My disciples, when I passed the wine to them, I knew that only My Word would establish the connection between Me and people and give evidence of it .... I knew that they would only be able to reach the goal if they constantly allowed Me to speak to them .... Furthermore, I knew that they had to believe in My act of Salvation, I knew what was ahead of Me, that I had to sacrifice My life for humanity in order to redeem it and, in view of this, I said the Words ‘which is given for you .... which is shed for you ....’ The eternal Word Itself spoke to people: Take this and eat .... take this and drink .... You humans must establish heartfelt contact with Me in order to hear My speech, in order to be nourished by Me with the bread of heaven .... in order to take Supper with Me ....

Remember His greater than great love which motivated Him to live in the flesh and to subsequently sacrifice Himself on the cross in order to bring redemption to humanity from its bondage .... He wanted to bring you peace, the salvation of your souls .... He wanted to save you from eternal death, He wanted to give you life .... He wanted His living creations to become children and fetch them back into the Father’s house .... He was motivated by His boundless love to descend to earth in order to carry out a work of deliverance in the midst of people, in order to gather His little sheep, in order to rescue the lost ones from the claws of the wolf which had broken into His flock because no-one was able to stop him .... All people were under the control of the one who was His enemy and therefore the Saviour came down from above in order to snatch them from his control .... However, in return He had to make a sacrifice for the adversary, because he would not release his captives since they voluntarily followed him into the abyss and became as sinful as him .... They would have had to pay the ransom themselves and were too weak to do so .... But they would also have had to make their own amends with God due to the inconceivable sin of their past resistance to God .... They would never have been able to achieve this, and thus they would have been enslaved by God’s adversary forever had they not received help .... had God Himself not taken mercy upon them .... And He atoned for the guilt on your behalf, He paid the ransom for you .... He died on the cross for your sins .... He Himself redeemed you humans from sin and death ....

Only love was able to redeem you humans, hence the Eternal Love embodied Itself in a human being, in a child Which was born without sin and in all purity and also remained without sin and pure as long as It lived as a human being amongst people .... The human being Jesus accepted the divine love within Himself, and this greater than great love for His fellow human being made Him accomplish an act of mercy as happened only once in the world .... He suffered and died on the cross because love motivated Him to offer God the sacrifice of atonement .... He took all of humanity’s sins upon Himself and made amends for them .... Love endured everything in order to redeem the people .... A great act of compassion commenced when the Saviour came into the world .... A ray of light fell to earth, it shone brightly into the hearts of the few who languished in their adversity and called upon God for help .... The infant Jesus emanated light and a few recognised Him as the Messiah, Whom seers and prophets had proclaimed to the world. And they paid homage to the small child .... They praised and glorified God, Who had taken pity on them and found peace in their hearts .... Yet there were only a few and even today there are only a few who think in their hearts with love and gratitude of the One Who sacrificed Himself for the sinful human race .... But only these few will find peace, only these few can be redeemed who believe in Jesus Christ as God’s Son and Redeemer and allow the light to shine into their hearts .... who humbly bow down to their Saviour, Who came into the world as the infant Jesus in order to redeem humanity ....

Amen

Jesus heard the Word of God ....
Mediator between God and people ....

When Jesus lived on earth as a human being the connection between Earth and the spiritual kingdom was established .... God Himself was once again able to speak to people through the mouth of Jesus, the man .... His Word could be heard again, which previously was impossible due to the vast distance which existed between humanity and God. It is only possible to hear His voice directly if a person’s soul has so shaped itself that it is capable of hearing the voice of the divine spirit within itself; and the soul is shaped into this state through activity of love .... The human being Jesus was Love Itself .... His sole thoughts and intentions aimed to benefit His fellow human beings, to help them in all adversity of body and soul. His soul was clear and pure and His life on earth was a life of love .... All preconditions were in place which enabled the divine spirit to express itself, for the soul of the man Jesus heard these Words clearly and distinctly and was therefore able to inform people of God’s Word .... God Himself was able to speak to people, the connection between God and people had been restored by Him .... Jesus was the mediator between God and people .... And thus Jesus taught people to strive towards the same that He Himself had achieved .... He taught them to exercise love in order to prepare themselves as a vessel for the divine spirit into which the strength of the spirit could pour, for every person should and was able to hear God’s voice within himself. And the path was shown to him by the man Jesus, Who also first had to attain the degree of love which assured Him God’s presence, so that he was able to hear Him within Himself. Although God can speak to every person He will never do so unless the conditions have been fulfilled first .... a heart purified by love which can admit God Himself Who then will demonstrate His presence through His Word .... The man Jesus possessed an extraordinarily high degree of maturity of soul because He was utterly permeated by love .... Hence it was possible for God Himself to permeate Him completely, and so God spoke through the man Jesus to people and it was no longer the man Jesus but God Himself. He achieved of His own accord what led to the unification with God ....

But He instructed His fellow human beings, He also wanted help them attain the success which He had gained through His love and therefore He first taught them to love .... and again and again only love .... Out of His great love came wisdom, for the spirit of God instructed people through Jesus .... Out of the fire of His love radiated the light of realisation .... Jesus knew that people, too, would be permeated by the light of realisation if only they lived up to love first .... this is why people were not taught more profound knowledge since this is the result of a live of love without which it remains ineffective for the human being’s soul. Only love connects the human being to God, only love achieves that God will take abode in a person, and only love motivates Him to express Himself .... And thus someone living a life of love will hear the Word of God inside of him, he will be guided into the most profound knowledge, he will be able to say that he is taught by God, he hears His Word and is thereby united with Him through love .... The man Jesus demonstrated to people that it is possible to achieve this degree and therefore showed them the path which leads from the abyss to higher spheres again .... to the Father .... He taught love, He lived love and finally crowned His way of life with His death on the cross in order to release people from all weaknesses which became their share due to their past sin .... so that people would have the strength to take the path, so that God’s spirit would be able to pour into all those who are willing to follow Him .... who live a life of unselfish neighbourly love as He had exemplified to them on earth ....

Amen

Patiently bearing the cross ....

Every person receives the cross he needs to help him attain full maturity of soul .... But it is truly not My will that you should be burdened too much, nevertheless, its weight corresponds to your free will. You can make it more difficult for yourselves if you oppose My will or easier as soon as you follow it. As soon as you carry your cross patiently, its weight will begin to seem less; if, however, you rebel against it, it will seem even more of a burden to you. Taking the path of the cross on earth is necessary for your soul until it’s willingness to love no longer lets it feel suffering .... until it is even grateful for the small cross I have imposed on it and which it recognises as a Godsend and thus carries it patiently and without complaining .... Keep in mind that I Am aware of everything that burdens you, hence I also know what is appropriate for your soul’s maturing .... And humbly accept that which is yet to come upon you and which must come upon you because the end is approaching and only little time remains left for your soul’s perfection .... Bear your cross humbly, for it is an assured path towards ascent, and you can ease your own burden if you entrust yourselves to Jesus, the bearer of the cross, and appeal to Him for support .... Whatever I impose upon you is not so heavy that you will break down under it .... For I do not burden anyone with more than he can carry, but whether he wants to endure it determines how heavy he deems his cross to be .... The end is near, and that means that every human being’s life comes to an end when the last day has come. But many are still far behind in their maturity of soul, and yet they can still reach perfection in a short time if only they seriously want it .... Their souls can still be purified through suffering and hardship, and everyone is offered this opportunity where there is the slightest prospect that it will be successful .... And I take their destiny into My hand and through suffering and sorrow lead them to the goal as long as they merely allow themselves to be led .... as long as they don’t offer resistance, thus rebelling against their fate and distancing themselves from Me even further .... Bear your cross with patience, all of you, for it is simply the means used by My love in order to help you, in order to protect you from death, in order to be able to bestow life upon you .... Gratefully accept everything as coming from My hand, for nothing happens without My will, without My permission, and everything that is imposed upon you shall merely lead you to the One Who can help you .... Everything shall lead you to Me, I Am your Father of eternity and thus will also help My children as a Father in every adversity ....

Amen

Change of nature only from within ....

Nothing external has a beneficial effect on your inner life, no formalities can help your soul to mature and lead it to perfection .... Your change of nature can only be accomplished from within, this is why you humans must frequently withdraw into solitude in order to take stock of yourselves and remove whatever is spoiling you, whatever imperfections you still harbour within yourselves .... External sources can certainly draw your attention to conducting this psychological work, you can be taught how to achieve it, what you ought to observe .... what you must avoid because it is harmful and what you should do to become perfect .... but you must accomplish it yourselves and only by means of detaching yourselves from everything external even if you are in the midst of the world and forced to fulfil your duties. Yet this psychological work has to be carried out simultaneously because it is entirely independent of your occupation, for it concerns your inner nature, your faults and bad habits, it concerns the human being’s inner life, his thinking, volition and conduct which .... even if it is directed in a worldly way .... ought to emanate love, otherwise a transformation of personality cannot be spoken of.

Hence your psychological work has to consist of refining your thinking and inclinations and of directing them towards divine goals; you always have to make an effort to live a life of unselfishness, selflessness, gentleness and patience, of peacefulness .... You have to develop all good qualities within yourselves and expel bad thoughts and attributes .... And all this requires the sincere will to live correctly before God .... It need not become outwardly obvious, that is, it should not be outwardly displayed .... yet a life in accordance with God’s will also always affects your fellow human beings, it stimulates imitation and will always be more effective than many speeches or formal customs which do not yet vouch for an inner change of attitude.

A person can only change if he takes serious stock of himself by thinking about his shortcomings and faults and resolves to improve himself. And this inner change has to be undertaken by every person himself if he wants to reach his goal of becoming perfect. The resolve also has to be followed by the deed or the will is not in earnest .... And from this you can realise again that the attainment of beatitude is not determined by the denomination but only ever by the human being’s will to kindle love within himself which totally transforms him, which turns all bad attributes into good ones and which therefore is the only means of becoming perfect .... but which can be practised by all people, irrespective of which denomination they belong to .... All denominations, however, teach love .... this is why all of them can lead to perfection, yet no denomination can guarantee this perfection .... only the human being can achieve it by the serious work of improving himself ....

Amen

Freedom of will ....
Divine order ....
State of compulsion ....

Throughout an infinitely long period of development your soul attained a degree of maturity which permitted its embodiment as a human being so that now, as your real Self, it is aware of itself and able to live its life on earth of its own free will .... admittedly with a task yet not forced to accomplish it. You humans ought to know what free will means for each being .... you ought to know that free will must be left to you because it is the attribute of divine living creations .... During your previous time of development this free will was indeed constrained but only because you had forfeited your divinity yourselves, because you voluntarily strove away from Me, your God and Father of eternity .... and thereby became ungodly .... So I bound your will in order to enable your return to Me .... By constraining your will I was merely helping you so that you would be able to use your freedom of will in divine order again, which was impossible in your previous state of development. Your will once took the wrong path .... I directed it again according to My will .... The spiritual beings took the path of My eternal order in a state of compulsion. Yet it was not intended for them to stay without free will forever because they should become divine beings again, as they were in the beginning, which also irrefutably requires free will. Your existence as a human being is therefore granted to the spiritual being for testing its will .... The past sin of having misused free will must be recognised in a state of free will and through using the will correctly, deification must be attained again .... The being must voluntarily strive towards higher spheres, just as it had once voluntarily fallen away .... Thus, free will is the explanation for many things which seem incomprehensible to you humans .... Although I can certainly always help you and do so in every way .... however, you must accomplish the transformation of your nature into divine living creations yourselves, otherwise you would never be able to attain the degree which is the requirement for deification .... Because I want to gain children, I don’t want to equip creatures without will with abilities which they must use according to My will .... My goal is to surround Myself with children who are able to create and work freely, whose will is in total accord with Mine but nevertheless free .... My goal is blissfully happy living creations full of light and strength which strive for their happiness, their light and their strength of their own free will and which, for this purpose, must go through earthly life as human beings in order to pass their test of will .... whom I will certainly always support but never influence forcefully because this would render eternal freedom and beatitude impossible .... I let you keep free will yet I always help you to use it correctly and it will always be possible to arrive at your goal. This is why earthly life is of momentous significance for you, for it decides your state in eternity, which you create yourselves of your own free will ....

Amen

Jesus’ name defeats the demon ....

You can charge the demon in My name to leave and you will be free of him .... You have a safe means in the name of your Lord and Saviour which, if it is voiced with utter faith, is extremely powerful against all evil forces besieging you on the instructions of the one who is My adversary. They will have to leave you if you confront them with the strength of My name, for they avoid it so as not to be destroyed .... Hence you need only ever hand yourselves over to the divine Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ .... you need only ever call upon Me or want Me to be present with you and protect you against evil and nothing bad will be able to encroach upon you, because My will repels all forces which intend to harm you .... however, always providing that you want to be My Own, that you have the sincere will to attain Me Myself and My favour .... that you therefore consciously strive towards Me .... Admittedly, in that case My adversary will attack you even more fiercely, he will try to push you away from Me by using any means at his disposal and portray his kingdom as worth striving for .... he will approach you under a mask and present what he expects of you as palatable as possible in order to confuse your mind, so that you will believe that it cannot harm you. He will always find the right meant to entice you, yet you will assuredly recognise him as well as his game of deceit as long as you seek a connection with Me .... You should always call upon Me, you should always pronounce the name of Jesus with heartfelt sincerity if you are in doubt or feel threatened by My adversary .... Just don’t eliminate Me from your heart, for then My adversary will have an easy game and you will succumb to his wishes ....On your own you are often too weak to resist Him, for this reason you should call for help upon the One Who knows Him and Who is his Lord .... A heartfelt call will liberate you from him, the name of Jesus works wonders if it is voiced with profound faith .... for thereby you call upon Me Myself, your God and Father of eternity, Who will truly not let you fall prey to the one against whom He fights for your souls, if your souls want to attain Me of their own accord ....

The correct use of time on earth ....

Earthly life is but short yet time in the beyond is infinitely long .... Hence you humans should use this earthly time well, you should accept every difficulty and utilise all your strength for the salvation of your soul. You should renounce all comforts of life and, with your rejection, ensure your claim for spiritual wealth which will determine your fate in eternity after the death of your body, which is the only beneficiary of earthly possession but may not keep them forever. Compared to eternity, earthly life is but a moment and you should not consider this moment so important .... instead, consider it extremely important for your soul .... thus constantly evaluate it spiritually. Although during your time on earth you have a concept of time by which your days and years appear to be long .... but consider that infinite periods have already preceded this earthly life and eternity will follow .... You, however, are only conscious of your lifetime on earth and therefore it means everything to you.

Nevertheless you know that your body has to die .... you know that everything earthly is transient, you know that everything your body had found indispensable and gave it a sense of well-being cannot be of any use to you after your death. Therefore consider this first and consider what to expect after the death of your body .... You can prepare an extremely wonderful existence for your soul during your earthly life but also a state of agony and darkness .... Time and again you are told that you will live on .... You are not without knowledge of this even if you don’t want to believe it .... Consequently consider the possibility and make provision for it .... Live virtuously on earth and don’t set your heart on material things which, after all, will be taken from you again .... Don’t consider the body at the expense of your soul .... First care for your soul then your body won’t go short either, but don’t let your thoughts move into the wrong direction and let the soul go short because of the body. For your soul is your true Self, the Self which is immortal and one day can be blessed if you work for and accomplish this bliss on earth ....

The happiest hours on earth pass like intoxication, earthly pleasures don’t make you happy forever, earthly life slips by fast .... but you cannot avoid your fate in eternity and that will correspond to your life on earth .... Eternal life or spiritual death .... you alone choose the conditions for yourselves in eternity because it is up to you what kind of life you live on earth. Evaluate your earthly life correctly .... so that it leads to the maturity of your soul and is not just used for the well-being of the body .... because you only stay briefly on this earth yet eternity is infinitely long ....

Amen
